The 40 time is considered crucial for NFL athletes, yet out of these record holders, how many have you heard of? Chris Johnson is a good back, but are we ready to say he's the best in the NFL? The only bona-fide star on the list is Champ Bailey.

The only player I've heard of is Mike Kudla, and that's because he got cut by the Steelers. I thought that Justin Ernest's impressive record would have earned him an NFL career as a DT, but a Google search doesn't show anything past his Eastern Kentucky days.

Anthony Gonzalez is a pretty solid player. The rest of this list, not as much.

So, there we have it. Five drills, 50 records, little overlap of record holders. What do we have to show for it in solid NFL results? Champ Bailey, Anthony Gonzalez, Chris Chambers, Terence Newman, Chris Johnson, and—for the sake of argument—Deion Branch.

Does draft stock really rise and fall over this?

Can we get over the NFL Combine now?
